Hi everybody. I just inherited a Radiola 18. Any ideas as to value?

Depending on condition, $20 to $100.

One thing to think about when asking " Value " It's sometimes worth to pass it on to a good home to someone that will take care of it. Take a fair offer for it. Value is not always a dollar amount. Worth is more the nostalgic value to someone to restore it an enjoy what it is.

I am getting good at restoring these sets.

I consider a restored radio, such as an RCA 33 "priceless".

If the gentlemen is considering not restoring the radio,perhaps he would sell it to me for a fair price??

I am now listeneing to my RCA model 33 while I am on the computer - nice AM sound.

Slusser's 6th edition lists the value range as $85-95. That would be for a set in reasonably good shape, complete with knobs, tubes, etc. - but not necessarily in working condition. The value is somewhat limited by the weight and expense of shipping.

These are interesting, attractive, and well performing TRF sets. But, there are many of them out there, including the Radiola 17, which is nearly identical. So, not rare at all. I tend to think that many people who want one already have one.

Since you inherited it, might be best to get it working and keep it. You will need a separate speaker.
